Uzbekistan
The Uzbekcosmos Agency has announced preparations for its first national mission, scheduled to launch in October 2028. This will be more than just a symbolic gesture; it is a two-week scientific expedition, with the participant to be selected through a nationwide program.
Mukhiddin Ibragimov, Deputy Director of Uzbekcosmos, confirmed that the launch is set for October 2028. Negotiations are currently underway with the USA, Russia, and China to secure a flight platform. The mission will last 14 days and focus on experiments in genetics, biology, and medicine.
The candidate requirements are strict: aged 27–40, higher education, proficiency in foreign languages, and specific physical attributes (height 160–190 cm, weight 50–95 kg). The selection process is intended to be a large-scale state program overseen by a special commission, ensuring that the most capable representative of the nation is chosen for orbital research.
